Custom Fabricated Stainless Steel Tremolo Arms For Original Fender® Stratocaster® Tremolo Bridges That Accept A Screw-In Tremolo Arm The featured length is the 4-1/4″ Gilmour length. We also offer an intermediate 5-1/4″ and standard 6″ lengths too. The Three Tremolo Arm Length Options Compared – Shown With Vintage Cream Plastic Tips The Six Plastic Tip Color Options Plastic tip colors shown are close approximations to the one you’ll receive, they are not genuine Fender® and colors may vary from original Fender® colors. Also, with variances in production runs and your particular devices screen color renderings your actual tip color may vary slightly from how you see it above. These plastic tips unscrew, so you can change them. Our tremolo arms are fabricated in our shop from 303 stainless steel for genuine Fender® Stratocaster® tremolo bridges only and are threaded for a screw-in attachment to the bridge in UNF 10-32 or metric 5mm (M5 x 0.8) threading. They are not chrome plated, they are solid 303 stainless steel with a satin finish. These tremolo arms are NOT designed to fit a Squire® Strat®, clone Strat® or any aftermarket bridge, so DO NOT purchase for any Squier®, clone or replica Strat® or for any aftermarket tremolo bridge. They are designed for original genuine Fender® Strat® tremolo bridges only, this does NOT include Squier’s. Our tremolo arms are exclusively designed for a genuine Fender® Strat® tremolo bridge that is setup as free-floating. The free-floating bridge setup presents the underside back edge of the bridge top plate raised up off the surface of the body by approximately 1/8″, this is how just about all Strat’s® come setup from Fender®. The free-floating bridge setup allows you to increase or decrease string tension thus raising or lowing pitch by lifting up or pressing down on the tremolo arm, this setup is what allows for the best vibrato effect. Our tremolo arms normal tip-to-pickguard distance is based on this free-floating bridge setup, if you do not currently have your bridge setup as free-floating then you will need to set it up as such before installing one of these tremolo arms. If you choose not to setup your bridge as free-floating, then do not purchase one of these tremolo arms.Tremolo arm tip-to-pickguard distance is a personal preference measurement and our tremolo arm design fits most people most of the time, but due to variances in ones hand size, playing style and setup, it’s possible you may find the tremolo arm tip may sit a little high or low from the pickguard surface from your desired height and this is a normal characteristic that your specific setup may require a small adjustment to the bend angle of your tremolo arm. After evaluating your new tremolo arm and you think you need an adjustment to the tremolo arm tip-to-pickguard distance send us an email before attempting any adjustment to your tremolo arm to prevent damage and / or breakage. We will assist you in explaining what you need to do to make the adjustment correctly. See below for additional details. Our 5-1/4″ and 6″ length tremolo arms both have the same amount of up-sweep in the tip portion of the tremolo arm. The up-sweep is the angle that the bend closest to the plastic tip that sweeps up away from the pickguard surface. Our 5-1/4″ and 6″ length tremolo arms have a 27 degree angle of up-sweep, compared to an original Fender® American Standard Strat® tremolo arm that has a increased angle of 39 degrees of up-sweep. Our short 4-1/4″ Gilmour style length tremolo arm has a lower up-sweep angle of 12 degrees and this corresponds to this specific artist series tremolo arm. You’ll notice this difference in up-sweep angles visually in the tip bends by closely reviewing the above photograph showing all 3 lengths of tremolo arms. As you will notice in the above photograph showing all 3 lengths compared, each different length tremolo arms first bend as it comes up and out of the bridge is bent to a different degree angle of bend. This is by design to facilitate the same tremolo arm tip-to-pickguard distance no matter which length you may select. Each length will present the tip end of the tremolo arm at approximately the same distance down to the pickguard surface when in the same playing position. Important Points of Reference of Tremolo Arm Lengths, Styles and Designs: The typical OEM Fender® Strat® tremolo arm is approximately 6″ in length (+/- 1/2″). David Gilmour’s short tremolo arm is published in Phil Taylor’s book “The Black Strat” as custom shortened to 4-1/4″ in length. The tremolo arms offered here will NOT fit the Fender® American Deluxe, Elite, Ultra or Professional Series Strat®, they accept a pop-in tremolo arm. The tremolo arms offered here are NOT chrome plated, they are solid 303 stainless steel with a satin finish.We do NOT fabricate these tremolo arms in the 6mm (M6 x1.0) screw-in attachment threading for Squier’s. We do NOT accept special requests for customization’s or alterations to these original tremolo arm designs. Selecting The Correct “Attachment Threading” For Your Genuine Fender® Strat® Screw-In Tremolo Arm: American Strat® 10-32: These tremolo arms will fit the Fender® American Standard Strat® with the 2-point synchronized tremolo bridge, American Special Strat®, American Vintage Re-Issue Strat® or any genuine Fender® American Strat® tremolo bridge that accepts a 10-32 threaded screw-in tremolo arm. Metric 5mm (M5 x 0.8): These tremolo arms will fit original genuine Fender® Mexican and Japanese Strat’s® tremolo bridges that accept a metric 5mm threaded screw-in tremolo arm. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have one of the original Fender® half-thickness, lightweight / cast zinc tremolo blocks on your import Strat® bridge then these custom tremolo arms offered here will not have the proper bend angle for that model of bridge, those bridges accept the tremolo arm into the tremolo block at 10 degrees of angle different than the typical Strat® tremolo bridge than what these tremolo arms offered here are designed for. You can confirm this by the removal of the plastic back plate on your Strat® and looking at the bottom of your tremolo block where the tremolo tension springs clip on, the tremolo block will only be 1/4″ thick and that is what you DO NOT want to see, so DO NOT purchase one of these tremolo arms for that bridge. These tremolo arms are NOT designed to fit a Squire® Strat®, clone Strat® or any aftermarket bridge, so DO NOT purchase for any Squier®, clone or replica Strat® or for any aftermarket tremolo bridge. They are designed for original genuine Fender® Strat® tremolo bridges only, this does NOT include Squier’s If you are unsure of the correct tremolo arm screw-in attachment threading for your Fender® Strat® you will need to contact Fender customer service to determine which is the correct one for your bridge, but ultimately it is your responsibility to know which is the correct tremolo arm for your guitar and place your order accordingly. Don’t just order one to see if it fits and then return it because it doesn’t fit. We’re not in the business of sending out parts for evaluation and returning what you can’t use or don’t fit. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR SETUP AND OUR TREMOLO ARM DESIGNS Our tremolo arms designs neutral tip height position is based on an original Fender vintage 6-screw tremolo bridge that is setup as free-floating with the underside back edge of the bridge plate up off the body by 1/8” as per Fender’s recommended typical setup. However, if your bridge is setup differently or you are installing our tremolo arm in a modern Fender 2 point pivot tremolo bridge then your tremolo arm tip height may be higher or lower than you may feel comfortable with so a small adjustment to the tremolo arm bend angle may be needed, this is a normal procedure in dialing in your specific setup. It’s not possible to create a production tremolo arm with a design that fits everyone every time since hand sizes, tremolo setup and tremolo usage style will vary from one person to the next, so there may be the need for a small adjustment to the bend angle of your tremolo arm to dial in a setup that you feel most comfortable with. The most often overlooked setup aspect of a Strat is the tremolo arm, most people feel that however a tremolo arm is created is how they have to live with it, this is not so, all production tremolo arms are created with a design that will work well for most people most of the time, however, for some people a small adjustment of the tremolo arm may be required to make it feel comfortable and natural in your hand when you’re playing. This is accomplished by having your tremolo bridge setup as free-floating in a way you prefer then installing the tremolo arm and asking yourself how the tremolo arm feels, does the tip of the tremolo arm feel too low, does it feel too high, and if it is either then you will need to determine by how much the tip height needs to be adjusted from where it is now to dial in a setup that suits you and your playing style and then have the appropriate change made to the bend angle of the tremolo arm. It may only take 1/4” of tip height change to make a difference in how it feels in your hand and once the tremolo arm feels natural and comfortable in your hand then you know it’s setup is just right. You should not be thinking that your tremolo arm is too high or too low, you should only be thinking about how you’re going to use it musically, then you know it’s just right. If you have any questions about this give is a call, all orders will include our customer service telephone number and we can discuss what to do to make your tremolo arm just right for you.
